Artist's exhibitions
Would You Still Love Me If I Were a Worm?
Exhibition Would You Still Love Me If I Were a Worm? presents the works of four artists, Aleksandra Vajd, Anna Ruth, Tereza Štětinová and Anna-Marie Berdychová.
Each of the artists works in different mediums, such as photography, sculpture, object or painting. However, they share an interest in similar themes inspired by female mythological creatures or the contemporary position of women in art. We deliberately focused the opening on International Women’s Day as a celebration of female gentleness and strength. Exhibition Would You Still Love Me If I Were a Worm? is an effort to bring the unique and inspiring perspectives of each artist into a common thematic space.
